Cadillac Repair: repair, last hope, crankshaft


Question
Removal and installation of serpetine belt 4.9 v8
for a 1991 Cadillac.  Include picture

Answer
Hi Phil, I don't have any way to send a picture but there should be a sticker eithor on top of the radiator plastic cover or under the hood. If you haven't removed the belt yet then draw a picture yourself. To relieve the tensioner they reccomend useing a breaker bar because if a ratchet is used it might crack the tensioner square off unless you are very carefull. To install the belt start at the crankshaft and going clockwise it goes to the idler pully, alt., tensioner, p/s, a/c, water pump and then crankshaft. The easiest way is to put it on the tensioner or alt pully last. Hope that helps. Bill
